Dex,
That was discussed in a recent thread:
Bale did not gain anywhere near 100lbs for Batman. This is what I posted:
[quote]
If the stats in the OP are accurate, he went from 121 lbs in The Machinist to 190 in Batman Begins. Most of that weight gain would have been his body returning to homeostasis (and the rebound effect would be phemonenal).
Muscle memory would have played a part here too, as Bale had bulked up for previous roles. I’d estimate that Bale was sitting at between 15 to 20lbs above his untrained bodyweight in Reign of Fire, so in reality he didn’t gain anywhere near 70 Ibs of ‘fresh’ muscle.
As for weight loss, he wasn’t concerned with muscle preservation, so it was a straight forward starvation diet. Michael Fassbender did something similar in Hunger and his diet resembled a harsher version of Lyle’s McDonald’s Rapid Fat Loss (so basically a PSMF).
This is all perfectly possible without drugs (drugs may have been involved, but I can’t see that happening unless Bale was having problems meeting his deadline).[/quote]
…Although Bale IS one of the actors that had to lean out before shooting:
[quote]
"I think it was far less healthy actually putting on the weight.
"I was lifting really heavy weights and just stuffing so much into my mouth.
“My body was under so much pressure I could feel it. I had a doctor say to me ‘You are going nuts. You have to slow down’.”
Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan, best known for his Oscar nominated independent film Memento, starring Australia’s Guy Pearce, had been impressed with Bale’s performances in American Psycho and The Machinist.
The director was not prepared for what he saw when Bale arrived at the London studio ready to play Batman.
“I turned up in England and I was bearded and had long hair and I was walking down the hallway and Chris Nolan was walking towards me and I said ‘Hi Chris’ and he had absolutely no idea who I was,” Bale said.
"When he got close he was like ‘Holy f… You look like Grizzly Adams. What’s going on?’
"Then he said: ‘OK, well you did OK, you got really good like how we asked you to, but maybe … could get you a little leaner now’.
"Chris was nice about it, but there were some others, like some English guys in the crew who I’d worked with before who weren’t so gentle.
“They said ‘Hey Chris, what film are we making here? Fatman?’.” [/quote]
Lmao…fatman, i doubt he was all that fat
Followed your advice for sometime now, here is my latest pic, any improvement?
New to this thread i was drawn in by your odd way of responding and denial of how skinny you are. I don’t say this to offend you.
You really need to eat more, i don’t know what your training looks like but i’d recommend you stick to compound exercises. If you are very active outside of training or training to often this would also slow your progress in the face of caloric defect.
Bottom line - More compound exercises, more calories, adequate protein.

You really need to eat more, i don’t know what your training looks like but i am willing to bet you place way to much focus on your abdomen and not enough everywhere else.
Are you doing compound exercises?[/quote]
We’ve told him that. he’s a kid and thinks like one. Girls in his class are likely giving him play for his abs so he is most focused on that and not anything else.
It won’t hit him how skinny he is until he goes after “grown women”.
It will likely be too late though.
He wants to be a model…or at least his concept of one. To model for underwear at Walmart he’s doing fine.
I take that back…you apparently even have to be bigger than that to model underwear.
I guess Dex needs a sandwich.
Edited my response during Prof X’s post. Any mention of ab isolation and i would expect the OP to disregard my advice in favor for an emotional retaliation.
So much wasted potential.
LOL… you need to follow the eating & lifting advice for more than 1 month. You’re 16 and in your prime growing years. Lift heavy, eat enough and do this consistently for the next 4 years.

I put organic cocoa powder into most of my shakes. If nothing else, it seems to put me in a better mood.
I used to buy cocoa nibs, but based on what I saw in the toilet they traveled right through me. [/quote]
Read an article published on this site about how great cacao nibs are. I tried some and experienced the same thing with what I noticed in the toilet. The stuff doesn’t blend or mortar well either. Organic cocoa powder, how do we know that the processing and heating isn’t destroying the nutrients in some organic cocoa powder?
My experience with cocoa as a health supplement has left me with much to be desired. Don’t mean to derail the thread, but it is about cacao/ chocolate… If Cacao nibs suck because cannot be digested, what sort of organic powder is recommended?
